I feel a bit bad leaving this here, incase anyone is stupid enough to do it. Although you'd be doing everyone a favour, do not put copper grease anywhere on the disc faces.

Bit of copper grease on the face should stop the water rusting them up.

Standard 182 with a quarter of a tank weighs 1150kg

​heres a crazy idea, stop spending money on things and you might not be skint!

It costs me £70 on average to fill mine up. That normally gets me between 220 and 250 miles, depending how I've driven. I don't do as many miles as I used to! I used to spend around £500 a month on petrol in the Clio!

Definitely not a cup.

The bumper will attach with clips under the wings. im going to guess that the pipe you've removed is for the radiator, not the intercooler, which means it should be full of water. ​

​They're also a pain to get off, and often warp the quarter panel.

It's a possibility. Decent cutting pad, and compound, and the paint should lift off. It won't key to the clear coat like it would with primer.

Wait for it to dry and see if it will buff off with a cutting pad.

I'm going to assume he was made aware of this after the race?

Some impressive driving there. The black clios lines and braking points are all over the shop in comparison!

You're mad. Absolutely mad.

Obviously he couldn't handle v-tec. God knows what it'd look like if he had actual power.

S4 buddies?

I've got an S4. That is all.

Just no

Well at least it's no ones fault as such. Paying thousands for an engine build, only for it to go bang within a week would be pretty frustrating.

Newly rebuilt engine?

This guy knows how to write an advert. Claim it's 250bhp and watch as Cliosport spontaneously combusts. Nothing else would attract that many views.

Road tax doesn't repair your local roads. Each county's roads are paid for by council tax. Your road tax has probably helped maintain the London Underground, or paid for a library somewhere.

Awesome. I followed one the other day in the S4. Wouldn't show me up :dapprove:

A phase 1 172 airbox and filter is the one everyone raves about. In reality it makes no difference whatsoever. I'd just source a replacement airbox and OE filter.

A what in the who now?

I've never struggled and I'm a mechanical r****d. Try undoing the ball joint first?

Take it you're using the front drive shafts to power the rear wheels, and leaving the prop shaft out of the equation?

Good to hear you're sticking with the bi-turbo setup. Much easier and more cost effective to get power from. Engines are quite happy to take 400+bhp, and sound amazing revving out to 7,000rpm!

If the 300mm disk and the 280mm disk are the same width then that's fine. the 300mm disk would provide better cooling than the 280mm disk. You mentioned previously that a thicker 280mm would be better than a thinner one, since it could store more heat, but that's just not the case. If anything...

My only issue here is the idea that a larger disk will somehow manage heat better. All a larger disk will do is take longer to cool down between braking. A disk with a larger surface area relative to its volume would work better, be it 300mm, 280mm or 4,000mm.

So maybe you should focus on higher cornering speeds and aero, you might not need 300mm discs then ;)
